Rhinitis Medicamentosa is a
quality of life issue.
An Estimated 10 Million Americans have RM
Rhinostat Systems, LLC
Only those people who have struggled
with RM can appreciate the impact
it has on their lives.
We Talk About RM
Rhinostat exhibits at several major medical
meetings each year. We meet with thousands
of physicians and speak with them about
our dosage titration method.

Specialization, Research and Treatment
Why Are We Known As
The Rhinitis Medicamentosa Company?

RM is our only focus
 Rhinostat interacts with more RM patients
than any other physician, clinic or research
organization, anywhere.

Rhinostat’s research division compiles
information directly from RM patients
about treatment outcomes
The need for improvement
How is RM usually treated?

Decongestants are abruptly withdrawn

Intranasal and/or systemic steroids are prescribed

Steroids are sometimes injected directly into the
turbinates
The problem with this approach:
The medications do not start working immediately.
Patients are extremely uncomfortable for 4-8 days due
to nasal airway congestion. To end their misery, many
patients return to using the sprays.
A practical alternative
What is the Rhinostat System And How Does It Work?

Rhinostat is a dosage titration system

It allows the user to reduce the strength of the
decongestant dose by 15% each day

Rhinostat uses serial saline dilution. It contains no
other drugs, compounds or ingredients not already
found in the user’s current decongestant spray.
Why Rhinostat makes sense
What is the benefit of dosage titration?

With Rhinostat, patients can avoid the 4-8 day
period of complete congestion and discomfort.

Patients can use their decongestant solution
whenever they feel the need for relief, while still
making progress each day.
Breathing is believing
Can the benefit of dosage titration be measured?

Yes. With rhinomanometry, we can see that the
peak nasal inflow remains at near normal levels
when patients withdraw gradually.
The rhinomanometer is a tool which is
used to record aerodynamic
measurements within the nasal cavity.
Airflow, pressure gradients and volumes
can be accurately measured.
A quantifiable difference
How much improvement is there using Rhinostat?
This is a graph of the measured peak nasal inflow in two patient groups. In the
Rhinostat group (upper line) nasal inflow is very near normal. The second group
(lower line) was told to stop the decongestant abruptly and given steroids. Nasal
inflow was substantially impaired for almost 8 days.

Resisting the temptation
What is the benefit of increased airflow?
If a patient is able to breathe during
the treatment period, there is no reason
for them to return to using their regular
decongestant spray.
A patient who can not
breathe is much more
likely to return to using
their regular spray.
24 hours a day – 7 days a week

Behind the scenes
What happens when a patient places an order?
Each Rhinostat kit is individually formulated,
depending upon the type of spray the patient is
currently using.

Moving Forward
Future Plans & Goals For Rhinostat
To continue informing health care providers about the
benefits of our gradual withdrawal method
To expand the scope and depth of our research
on rhinitis medicamentosa.
To help as many people as possible overcome their
dependence on decongestant sprays, greatly improving
the quality of their lives.
